MicroRNA-665 regulates the proliferation, apoptosis and adhesion of gastric cancer cells by binding to cadherin 3.

ABSTRACT: Numerous studies have reported that abnormal cadherin 3 (CDH3) and microRNA (miRNA/miR)-665 expression can induce the progression of gastric cancer (GC). However, the mechanism of interaction between miR-665 and CDH3 in GC requires further investigation. The present study aimed to investigate the influence of miR-665 and CDH3 in GC development. The effect of miR-665 and CDH3 on GC tissues and cell lines was examined using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Subsequently, CDH3 protein expression in GC cell lines was detected using western blotting. To confirm the association between miR-665 and CDH3, a dual-luciferase reporter assay system was employed. Cell proliferation and adhesion were analyzed using BrdU ELISA, MTT and cell adhesion assays. Finally, caspase-3 activity assay kit and
